Strawberry sherbet

We sit side by side on the warm brick steps, a bowl of strawberry sherbet between us. A scrap of paper flutters in the breeze. Evening light skips around on the green blades and in your voice. Your laughter bursts like ice against my palate.

This moment, how do I capture this moment before it melts away.
